Okay, added a link to the Wikipedia article on the Gulf War. Das Baz, aka Erudil 20:59, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

The Real Forbidden Fruit
Another editor has added the  template to the article The Real Forbidden Fruit, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the  template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Urrutia and Opening of the Mouth
Have you read the 'article'? Here is what Professor Michael Patrick O'Connor says of it: This article consists of a. a paragraph that reads in toto: "The 51st Psalm reads in part:" b. a paragraph that quotes parts of Psalm 51 from the Authorized Version without verse numbers; c. a paragraph that says "The several specific points [in the quoted material] all have counterparts in the Egyptian ceremony [scil. The Opening of the Mouth ceremony], even in the same order. [footnote here to an essay by Hugh Nibley] Undoubtedly we have here a case of cultural diffusion."

The entire article occupies less than a page, though the footnote is placed on the following pages. Undoubtedly we have here, in the case of the article's author, a case of remarkable sloth or an urgent deadline; and even more undoubtedly we have here, in the case of the person urging people on the list to look at this article in what is, after all, a 16-year old article in a volume in a rather arcane series, a case of tremendous forgetfulness or low scholarly standards.

I think calling it an article is overkind to him. If you insist it is an article, I can add some of the above to clarify what it actually was. Doug Weller (talk) 15:54, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Since it occupies two pages, it is factually inaccurate to call it a "page." Please stop hating on Benjamin. Your hostile POV is quite inappropriate. Das Baz, aka Erudil 15:40, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * It doesn't occupy 2 full pages, but never mind. Don't you mean that Professor O'Connor is hostile? All significant views need to be presesnted to be NPOV, and his is a significant view. So how do you suggest that we make sure all significant views are expressed in this case? Doug Weller (talk) 16:03, 19 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks very much for that response. The only problem may be is that it gives no credit to Nibley. I found "Against your advice I ordered the volume containining Urrutia's Article.Eisenbrauns was having a sale on Magnes volumes so it only cost $15.Forunately I have the Nibley bookMessage. Nibley does give some useful citations in his discussion of the Opening of the Mouth on pages 106-109 which Urrutia cites.   The whole value of Urrutia's article is inNibley's discussion and sources.  I agree that Urrutia's article has no value"outside of the referenced material in Nibley."  What do you think? Doug Weller (talk) 16:42, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

The central idea of Urrutia's page/article, about the three elements found in common in Psalm 51 and in the EOOTMC, is Urrutia's own idea/discovery, and does not come from Nibley. This certainly needs to be mentioned if the Nibley citation is discussed, to avoid creating the false impression that Urrutia is merely citing Nibley. Das Baz, aka Erudil 16:47, 21 June 2008 (UTC)


 * That's fine with me, go ahead with your suggestion. By the way, that other guy had thought I was supporting some weird Japanese cult, he got the wrong end of the stick completely. Go ahead with the suggestion you put on my talk page. And I'm not hating on Urrutia, just trying to get things accurate (I knew about the article because it had been discussed on a mailing list I was on). Doug Weller (talk) 19:45, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi. You recently created the article Ra'hel Bluwstein. An article already exists at Rachel Bluwstein, and it includes more information.

Please stop adding that to every article you can think of. I've removed to from everywhere except the John McCain article; I'll leave it to the editors there to determine whether, how, and where to incorporate that information in that article. --barneca (talk) 17:08, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

From Talavera de la Reina and son of 'de la Rua ' and 'Aguirre meneses'
Hi Das Baz ,

I appreciate your interest in adding more people to the 'list of basques' lastname  'Aguirre',but I think this 'Francisco de Aguirre' is a controversial one for many reasons and it is not adequate for this article :

- He is born in Toledo-Castilla- Spain that is 400 kilometres far any basque country or region. -His real first last name is 'de la rua ' -galician or portuguese last name. -His mother is 'Meneses Aguirre ' .Meneses is also portuguese ,but I dont know if you have heard that

- 'Aguirre ' is one of the most or the more extended basque origin last name ,there almost 'million/s' of Aguirre everywhere and Not all of them have parents,grandparents or great grandparents born in basque country or region or in America or Asia from  basque parents,grandparents or greatgrandparents.

-The parents of 'Francisco de Aguirre' (Francisco de la Rua Meneses)were not born in the basque country and were not the grandparents or greatgrandparents either.

Toledo is a very spanish or castilian exponent ,and not precisely a basque man like 'lope de aguirre ' or many others conquistators in America whose parents or grandparents were basque people born in basque country.

So ,I think this 'Aguirre' as a very common or usual lastname could be ok in another list of spanish conquistators or in people from Toledo 'Toledanos' but actually not in the 'list of basques'if you COMPARE with other basque conquistators in that 'list of basque'. This person would be just another exponent of very 'Spanish' conquistator but it is very hard to considerate him, one from 'Toledo ',a basque for this list.

I hope you will understand this all, that's why I ask you to remove this one. I am sure you could find many other non-controversials to replace him in this list.

Thanks a lot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.78.133.114 (talk) 01:44, 3 August 2008 (UTC)  Ok, the comment is by Das Baz, aka Erudil 17:15, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Little context in The Messiah at the Gates of Rome
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on The Messiah at the Gates of Rome, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because The Messiah at the Gates of Rome is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting The Messiah at the Gates of Rome, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

January 19
Hello. I notice that you have re-added an event to the January 19 article. This is not the first (or second. See here and here above) time that you have re-added an event that does not link to a supporting article. I reiterate, each entry must link to an article that supports the entry in full and the article linked does not support the specific date of January 19. This is how we meet verifiability requirements. Refer to WP:DAYS for details on what are acceptable entries in Wikicalendar articles. Your lack of edit summaries doesn't help me to understand your justification for reverting the removals. Thank you. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 17:11, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I certainly appreciate your effort to comply with the requirements of WP:DAYS, but adding unsourced support to an article like you did to Gulf War, isn't really the best way to go about things. Do you have a source for where you got that information?  I imagine since you know it, you must have gotten it from somewhere.  Can you provide a reference?  Thanks.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 19:34, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes, see New York Times, January 20, 1991. Das Baz, aka Erudil 19:36, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * That's great, can you properly reference that in the Gulf War article? Remember WP:PROVEIT.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 19:37, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, and do you have a page number for that NYT article? I just want to read up on it.  Thanks.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 19:41, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

If it is not on the front page, look for it on the index on page 2 of the Times. Das Baz, aka Erudil 19:43, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The article on the front page says "warheads were reported to have killed no one and only slightly injured about 15 civilians". Judging by that statement this does not seem like a long term globally notable event.  It really shouldn't be listed.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 19:49, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

A missile attack by one nation to another is certainly a historically important event. However, let us change the number of injuries from 29 to 15. Das Baz, aka Erudil 19:51, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The attack on January 19 was not the first. The first Iraqi attack was on January 18 with 7 minor injuries.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 19:53, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

So the second attack caused twice as many injuries as the first, making it a more serious incident. Das Baz, aka Erudil 19:54, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I think you're missing the point. If your argument is that the beginning of hostilities between nations is notable, then the first occurrence should be noted - not subsequent.  7 minor injuries vs. 15 minor injuries is inconsequential.  It is not notable every time the US kills 20 Iraqi civilians but the first attacks might have been.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 19:57, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

A long-distance ballistic missile from one country to another is a serious and important matter, no matter how many casualties, no matter whether it is the first or second. Das Baz aka Erudil 17:07, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Israel is always getting attacked. An attack that results in only minor injuries is not notable in a long term global sense.  We can't reasonably list every time that Israel has a bomb dropped on it.  It might be notable to you, but I don't believe that it is notable to the rest of the world.  We don't list every battle of a war.  The articles would get cluttered with a bunch of meaningless events.  Regardless of your response, we should continue this discussion in the more public venue of Talk:January_19 so others can see it.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 18:42, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted.

But I did resolve the problem. If you think otherwise, please be specific. Das Baz, aka Erudil 18:25, 14 March 2009 (UTC)


 * The issue should be discussed at Talk:The Messiah at the Gates of Rome. In short, though, I'll say here that I fail to see how you adequately solved the problem.  Please do not continue to remove the templates until there is a consensus among editors on the article's talk page that the problem has been solved.  Otherwise, your constant reverts may be considered vandalism. --Ericdn (talk) 18:29, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

You are the one being vandalistic, with vague meaningless generalities intended only to harass. Das Baz, aka Erudil 18:31, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
 * No one is trying to "harass" you; numerous editors over the past two months have pointed out that the article needs serious cleanup and expansion, and for the most part you have been unwilling to take other editors' advice, and have protectively tried to maintain the one version of the article that you like. To be perfectly frank, this is a bad article&mdash;it is poorly written and doesn't provide much useful information about the topic, especially for a lay reader.  Rather than attacking anyone who criticizes the article's current state, you should be working to improve the article itself. r ʨ anaɢ talk/contribs 20:29, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

I have accepted and followed through on every concrete suggestion that has been made. But a claim that there are "errors" -withiout naming any concrete examples - cannot be followed through, and is nothing but harassment. Das Baz 15:55, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Do you have any citations for Julie (aka 84) being from Argos? There is an oddity in the RPG that she takes extra damage from argonite weapons (and it's a little odd that she's the first one on her side of the family to get powers), but deducing that this makes her Argonese seems to be OR.

She is an Argonian, no doubt about it. Das Baz, aka Erudil 17:45, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

And please tell me more about the RPG; I've never seen it. What do we learn from it about Argos, Atlas, Dax, the FISS, Julie, Ron, etc.? Das Baz, aka Erudil 17:47, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

I've only read through issue 39 since I wait for the TPBs. The RPG is copyrighted February 2008.

84 (Julie Finster) Under Disadvantages there are two interesting ones:
 * vulnerability: 2 x body from Argonite wapons (uncommon)
 * vulnerability: 2 x stun from Argonite weapons (Uncommon)

In the text there is a section "She's a sweet natured girl who very much wants to be a hero and help people. Unfortunately, because her powers are so "common" she's concluded that she's really "nothing special" and probably won't ever get to do anything amazing with her life.  What's really ironic about this is that, unbeknownst to anyone outside of the PS238 testing labs, she's nearly as strong, tough, and fast as Captain Clarinet!  She's actually one of the most physically powerful metaprodigies at the school... and she shows real promise to become one of the mightiest heroes on the planet as she grows older and her powers mature."

stats are
 * STR 33 (lift: 4,8000 kg)
 * DEX 36
 * CON 26
 * BODY 10

For Captain Clarinet I just noticed his Argon name: MO-RON "RON" PETERSON. (what idiot would name his son 'Mo-Ron'?!!!)


 * STR 35 (lift 6,400 kg)
 * DEX 30
 * CON 30
 * BODY 10


 * vulnerability: 2 x body from Argonite wapons (uncommon)
 * vulnerability: 2 x stun from Argonite weapons (Uncommon)

He's eight according tot he RPG.

Captain Clarinet is a metaprodigy of famous lineage: his father is Ul-Ron, better known as Atlas, an alien who came to earth and was one of the first modern superheroes. His mother is a Human woman whom Atlas fell in love with.

A the son of Atlas, Captain Clarinet (a name he chose because of his love of playing music) is one of the most physically powerful, if not the most physically powerful, superhumans of his generation. A metahuman with the FISS (flight, invulnerability, strength and speed) power set, he can lift over six metric tons and is difficult to hurt by any means.

There's a paragraph on atlas but it just recaps the comic where Tyler went time travelling, and a couple of mentions in lists.

The section on Julie does mention she's related to Susie Finster, and that her family doesn't necessarily want to associate with the nuclear family (they're just glad their daughter isn't radioactive.)

There's nothing in the index about 'Dax'.
